Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

The mere 0.01 seconds felt like a slow-motion scene to Xue Rui.

broken……

What will the little girl's reaction be when she sees Chen Tingting post her photo?
Speaking of which, Lin Ruoxi and Chen Tingting look somewhat alike.

Lin Ruoxi collects everything related to Xue Rui, including but not limited to photos, certificates, old clothes...

However, there is a fundamental difference between the two. Lin Ruoxi is only collecting things quietly behind the scenes and will not affect anyone.

For example, Lin Ruoxi would secretly glue back together the award certificates that Xue Rui tore up and keep them safe. She would also ask Xue Rui's grandmother to "exchange" some of Xue Rui's childhood photos with her.

Chen Tingting, on the other hand, was even more assertive. She would remove photos from the school's bulletin board and make posters of Xue Rui's photos, which she would then stick on her bedside...

But Xue Rui didn't have time to think about these things. He only knew that in a few seconds, the little girl would probably get angry.

"The watermelon fell!" Xue Rui suddenly shouted.

Startled by Xue Rui's words, Lin Ruoxi's hand holding the spoon trembled, and a large spoonful of watermelon actually fell. The watermelon rolled a few times on Xue Rui's stomach and was about to fall to the ground.

"ah!"

Lin Ruoxi called out in a sweet and clear voice, quickly grabbed the watermelon with her other hand, and then reflexively stuffed it into her mouth.

A few seconds of silence fell over the small bedroom.

Xue Rui swallowed hard, thinking that Lin Ruoxi's reaction speed was really fast, but this also gave him the opportunity to turn off the screen.

Lin Ruoxi stood there, her mouth bulging.

You promised to give Xue Rui the sweetest watermelon core, but why did you put it in your own mouth?

Xue Rui swallowed hard, was he trying to ask if he wanted to come back?
But now that it's already in his mouth and covered in saliva, does Xue Rui still want it?

"Well…"

Lin Ruoxi looked at Xue Rui, blinking her eyes. She pointed to the watermelon in her mouth, then pointed to Xue Rui, as if asking him if he wanted more.

"you eat."

Xue Rui rubbed Lin Ruoxi's head, thinking to himself that the little girl was so well-behaved that she even needed his permission to eat a watermelon.

However, Lin Ruoxi's head suddenly drooped, her blank gaze somewhat vacant, leaving Xue Rui puzzled.

Actually, Lin Ruoxi had been worried about whether Xue Rui would find her repulsive. Now that Xue Rui told her to eat it herself, Lin Ruoxi naturally assumed that Xue Rui disliked her.

But... isn't it the same when we kiss?

Lin Ruoxi thought for a moment, then climbed onto Xue Rui with a watermelon in her mouth.

If you do both things together, you won't be disliked.

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood what Lin Ruoxi meant.

The little girl is very sensitive; his refusal just now may have unintentionally hurt her sensitive and fragile heart.

So Xue Rui tilted his head back and took a big bite out of the watermelon that Lin Ruoxi was holding.

As the sweet watermelon was eaten, Lin Ruoxi tiptoed to the side, and Xue Rui smiled slightly and made room for her.

The bedroom has a large bay window with a small tatami mat, which is positioned directly opposite the air conditioner vent and offers a view of the night scene outside.

Xue Rui usually lies here playing on his phone, while Lin Ruoxi always watches quietly from the side.

"Here's your phone." Lin Ruoxi took out Xue Rui's phone and habitually unlocked the screen.

Suddenly, a long string of text came into view, and Lin Ruoxi froze instantly.

Xue Rui thought to himself that he hadn't managed to avoid it after all...

However, Chen Tingting has already arrived in Chang'an, and Lin Ruoxi will find out about this sooner or later; it doesn't really matter whether it's sooner or later.

At this moment, Xue Rui was paying attention to Lin Ruoxi's changing expressions, wanting to see how the little girl would treat Chen Tingting.

Gradually, Lin Ruoxi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her expression growing increasingly serious. Her hand gripping the phone became white and bluish, and when she swiped the screen, the LCD screen itself was affected, displaying colorful ripples...

Xue Rui swallowed nervously; it was the first time he had ever seen the little girl so angry.

"Xi Xi?" Xue Rui called out.

Lin Ruoxi was taken aback at first, then took a deep breath, and when she looked up again, her face was full of smiles.

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

Lin Ruoxi's voice was soft, and there was no trace of anger in it.

"Are you angry?" Xue Rui asked with a smile.

Lin Ruoxi put down her phone, bit her lip, and muttered, "A little bit..."

"I heard from Mu Xue that she was coming to see me, but I won't pay any attention to her."

Xue Rui made a promise to Lin Ruoxi first.

"What if... what if she jumps onto your back again?" Lin Ruoxi asked with a worried expression.

"This..." Xue Rui paused, unsure how to answer for a moment.

If it's a boy, he wouldn't mind giving the other person an over-the-shoulder throw.

But Chen Tingting is a girl...

He's so cute. Putting aside whether he could bring himself to do it, if he did, the kind old man would probably take him to the police station...

This is really a headache...

"Xixi, I'll still need you to protect me then."

Xue Rui couldn't help but imagine how much the girl had changed since high school.

Although she still has a gentle personality, now that she has taken his place as his bedmate, she no longer holds back in her actions.

The little girl can lift a 50-pound bag of sweet potatoes, carry a water jug, and even break apples with her bare hands...

Even if they suffer some verbal disadvantages when facing Chen Tingting, if it really comes down to a fight, three Chen Tingtings tied together wouldn't be a match for the little girl.

The little girl could probably lift Chen Tingting up with just her two arms, leaving Chen Tingting's short legs flailing about in the air...

Yes, that's a good idea.

"But...but what if I'm not here?" Lin Ruoxi asked with a worried expression.

Just thinking about it made her feel that Chen Tingting was hateful.

She always takes advantage of Xue Rui's gentleness to bully him.

She couldn't keep an eye on Xue Rui every single moment...

Moreover, Gu Muxue had also reminded herself that no matter how much she trusted Xue Rui, she couldn't give him a chance to make a mistake.

Human nature cannot stand the test.

"So what do you want to do with her?" Xue Rui joked.

"Hmm..." Lin Ruoxi shrank her neck and looked around, then slowly raised her hand and drew the curtains.

Xue Rui smiled and shook his head. The little girl was really interesting. There was no one at home, and she seemed afraid of being overheard.

When Lin Ruoxi turned around again, Xue Rui noticed that a light blush had risen on her cheeks. She was gently biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth, making her lips moist and glossy. She was twirling a strand of hair with her fingertips before gently tucking it behind her ear...

Xue Rui's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously avoided looking at her.

He knows the little girl too well; how could he not understand what she wants to do?
Xue Rui turned his head away, pretending not to understand Lin Ruoxi's "hint".

However, Lin Ruoxi didn't care about any of that. Whichever way Xue Rui tilted his head, she would lean in that direction, her eyes as sweet as honey, clinging to Xue Rui's gaze.

Xue Rui felt bitter. He glanced at the gleaming curtains and thought to himself that it wasn't dark yet.

Lin Ruoxi will give him a bath later, and then he'll go to sleep...

The little girl wanted to stick close to him, and he couldn't resist the temptation at any point.

"Xixi, aren't you tired? I've noticed you've been rubbing your lower back a lot lately," Xue Rui said with concern.

"Tired." Lin Ruoxi sighed, unconsciously rubbing her lower back, then shook her head and said, "No, not tired."

Xue Rui tapped Lin Ruoxi on the forehead: "Xixi, what's wrong with you lately?"

Lin Ruoxi pouted and looked at Xue Rui with pitiful eyes:

"Mu Xue said to help you resist temptation. I... I'm too stupid. I can't think of any other way. I can only make sure you have enough to eat."

Lin Ruoxi didn't want to set any rules for Xue Rui, nor did she want him to feel uncomfortable.

She just wanted Xue Rui to be happy every day. If she couldn't stop Chen Tingting from showering him with gifts, then she would satisfy all of Xue Rui's latent desires, even if it meant going overboard herself.

This way, when Xue Rui is clinging to Chen Tingting, his desires will be lessened, and the risk will be greatly reduced. Lin Ruoxi's idea is simple: feed Xue Rui well at home, and as long as Xue Rui isn't hungry, he won't want to eat Chen Tingting's food.

But Lin Ruoxi was also worried: wouldn't Xue Rui get tired of him?

Xue Rui chuckled, momentarily at a loss for words.

He's not even twenty years old, yet he has to pay public grain taxes?

But now Lin Ruoxi's expression was very conflicted, as if she was worried about something again.

So, Xue Rui gently put his arm around Lin Ruoxi's waist, lightly massaged the girl's slender lower back with his palm, and then gently laid Lin Ruoxi flat on the bay window, giving her a light kiss on the forehead:
"Xixi, I love your cooking the most. I never get tired of it."

Lin Ruoxi blushed and started wiggling her toes happily.

"Here, have some. Tell me if you're hungry."

……

The next morning.

Lin Ruoxi went to work early, and Xue Rui didn't have any classes for the time being. Since he hadn't seen Gu Muxue for a long time, he decided to go directly to Gu Muxue.

The two agreed to meet at the entrance of Jiaotong University.

The moment Xue Rui stepped out of the car, he saw Gu Muxue standing under the shade of a tree in a long dress, adding a refreshing touch to the sweltering summer day.

From afar, Gu Muxue hopped and skipped closer, like a lively little deer.

Xue Rui stretched out his arms, about to hug Gu Muxue and spin her around a few more times.

However, Gu Muxue dodged directly: "Xiao Rui, stop messing around, don't get my clothes dirty, I still have to meet people later."

Xue Rui's gaze was surprised:

"You're all dressed up so nicely, who are you going to see later?"

"Xiao Rui, are you jealous?"

Gu Muxue's peach blossom eyes tilted slightly upwards, carrying a sly smile.

Xue Rui put his arm around Gu Muxue's waist and glanced around:
"Yes, I feel so jealous when others just glance at you."

Gu Muxue's face flushed instantly: "You're so shameless, don't you know how to be ashamed?"

"Hehe, I eliminated all the shy ones."

Xue Rui hugged her even tighter as he spoke.

"Alright, alright." Gu Muxue said seriously, "I'm talking to you about something important. We'll buy some snacks and fruit later, and then go see Chen Tingting under the guise of being senior students."

Gu Muxue believed that they had to take the initiative and it would be best to start with Chen Tingting's social circle.

Everyone around Chen Tingting knew that she was Xue Rui's girlfriend.

In this way, if Chen Tingting wants to get closer to Xue Rui again, she will have to consider the opinions of those around her.

Students at the beginning of the semester often form small groups during military training. If Chen Tingting's image is negatively affected, she may be ostracized by those around her, which is a potential threat.

"Mu Xue, I'm trying to avoid her, I don't want to go." Xue Rui walked in the opposite direction.

"Oh dear, I've already found out where her dorm is. Let's go, let's go!"

Gu Muxue grabbed Xue Rui's arm, and the two were like tug-of-war.

"Mu Xue, didn't you send Xiao Li? Didn't he tell you?" Xue Rui asked back.

"Yes, he told me which dormitory Chen Tingting was in."

Gu Muxue looked completely innocent, not understanding what Xue Rui was talking about.

Xue Rui felt a tightness in his chest.

The little girl did it on purpose, didn't she?
Chen Tingting has already posted my photo in the dorm, and you expect me to come over in person?

Just thinking about it made Xue Rui's scalp tingle.

But Gu Muxue's serious attitude now didn't seem like she was joking.

Could it be that this girl really thinks I'm shameless to the extreme?

"Xiao Rui, you did a great job!" Gu Muxue said with a smile.

Xue Ruiyue's "resistance" indicates that he dislikes Chen Tingting.

It would be best to do the same when you see Chen Tingting later.

So, ignoring Xue Rui's resistance, Gu Muxue carried large bags and small packages to "visit" Chen Tingting.

It was the start of the school year, and dormitory management was very lax. The dormitory supervisor let the two of them up without even asking them.

Arriving at the dormitory entrance, Xue Rui felt extremely nervous.

"Mu Xue, why don't you call her out? It's really impolite for a grown man like me to enter a girls' dormitory," Xue Rui suggested.

"Xiao Rui, you've become a gentleman."

Gu Muxue joked and knocked on the door.

Xue Rui felt a chill run down his spine and pulled a mask out of his pocket, putting it on his face.

Gu Muxue frowned instantly and snatched Xue Rui's mask away: "Xiao Rui, what are you doing?"

"Hiss~" Xue Rui gasped, steeling his resolve.

Damn it, so be it if we die.

"The door is unlocked, please come in."

Upon hearing a response from inside, Gu Muxue pushed open the door and entered, saying, "Hello, is Chen Tingting here?"

Xue Rui also went in, gritting his teeth.

The moment she entered, Gu Muxue noticed a strange phenomenon: it seemed as if everyone was staring at Xue Rui behind her.

She glanced at Xue Rui behind her, then looked at the wall.

"Alive, alive!" a girl exclaimed.

Xue Rui looked up and saw that his photo was indeed hanging on the wall...

Hanging it on the wall is unlucky enough, but some people still shout "alive!"
Damn, this is really bad luck.

Gu Muxue followed everyone's gaze and her pupils suddenly contracted.

A photo of Xue Rui?
Why didn't Li Ruihao mention this yesterday?
No wonder Xue Rui was so hesitant earlier; he must know what's inside...

Gu Muxue held Xue Rui's hand and apologized softly, "Xiao Rui, I'm sorry."

"It's nothing, I'm thick-skinned."

After looking around the dormitory, Xue Rui found that Chen Tingting was not there, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xue Rui. You should know me, right?" Xue Rui introduced himself.

"Mmm!" Everyone nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

They didn't know each other before, but now Xue Rui's name is known throughout the entire fourth floor.

Just because of Chen Tingting's flamboyant behavior...

"We went to the same high school as Chen Tingting; we're her seniors. We came to visit her today and brought you some fruit and snacks..."

Gu Muxue quickly calmed down and politely introduced herself to everyone.

Suddenly, Xue Rui's phone rang; it was a WeChat video call from Qian Huabiao.

Xue Rui pressed the answer button, intending to say a few words and then hang up.

"You've arrived at school? I'll come over tomorrow," Xue Rui said with a smile.

"Old Xue, one of your junior classmates is coming to see you."

Qian Huabiao did not look directly at the camera, but instead looked to one side with a complicated expression, and it was unclear who he saw.

Before Xue Rui could ask anything, the screen shook, as if someone had snatched the phone away...

"Is that Xue Rui?"

After a few flickers, a familiar, adorable face appeared on the screen, accompanied by a joyful and crisp sound:

"Xue Rui, where did you go? I'm in your dorm."

"Huh? Someone behind you looks familiar." (End of Chapter)
